Current greenhouse gas budgets do not account for most indirect anthropogenic impacts. In this perspective, we call for attention to greenhouse gas fluxes from human‐impacted natural ecosystems and their mitigation measures. The article highlights the increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from natural ecosystems, including CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O. These emissions are becoming significant drivers of global warming, surpassi...

Constructed wetlands and constructed floating wetlands are widely used for nitrogen (N) removal from surface water to combat eutrophication in freshwaters. Two main N removal pathways in freshwaters are plant biomass N uptake and denitrification, i.e. transformation of nitrate (NO 3 -) to nitrous oxide (N 2 O) or nitrogen gas (N 2 ) by different microbes possessing nirK , nirS , nosZI, and n osZII genes. In this study, we test...

Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here, we examined endemicity patterns, global change vulnerability and conservation priority areas for functional groups of soil fungi based on six global surveys using a high‐resolution, long‐read metabarcoding...

Cover crops play an increasingly important role in improving soil quality, reducing agricultural inputs and improving environmental sustainability. The main objectives of this critical global review and systematic analysis were to assess cover crop practices in the context of their impacts on nitrogen leaching, net greenhouse gas balances (NGHGB) and crop productivity. Only studies that investigated the impacts of cover crops...
